IIRC wasnt it zeus that gave thor the runes after odin died?
Thor lost the odinpower and ha dto regain it so he went on trial like Odin did to gain the knowledge of the runes.
The odinpower lead Thor "in the form a a girl" thru some cave where odin nailed him self to a tree "crucified" himself. Thor then hanged himself and while dying went even further then Odin and gained even more knowledge then his father.
